Pretty easy, overall.

Course Overview:

Dr. Carrigan makes the history very interesting. I'm not one that enjoys learning about history, but she changed my mind. She makes the lessons very relatable, and I enjoyed her class very much.

Course highlights:

I learned that everything we thought we knew about our history, there's always 2 sides to it. And everything we've learned in elementary, middle, and high school about history is either misleading or it goes very deeper than that.
